She called twice in a row, but Calvin’s number was still busy. After thinking about it, she could only call John. With their relationship, he should know about Gilbert Group’s situation.

John was surprised to receive her call. She asked about the situation at Gilbert Group, but John did not tell her in detail. He only told her not to worry.

After the call ended, the coffee machine beeped. She took the cup from the coffee cabinet that was specially made for Gabriel and filled it up. After taking two steps, she turned back and took some sugar from the coffee cabinet and placed it inside before sending it to the president’s office.

Hearing the knock on the door, Gabriel replied, “Come in.” Serenity pushed the door open and entered. She placed the coffee beside his hand and looked at the busy him. She wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she left the office without saying a word.

After a few minutes, Gabriel picked up the coffee beside him and took a sip. He frowned slightly and put it down without moving.

Half an hour later, Serenity knocked on the door of the president’s office again with a document in her hand. She handed the document to Gabriel.

Gabriel took it and glanced at it casually. He took the fountain pen from the pen holder, opened the cap, and signed his name forcefully. Then, he handed the signed document to her and said with his cold lips slightly lifted, “Next time, don’t act on your own.”

Serenity glanced at the almost untouched coffee. “President Jones, you’re busy with work every day and don’t eat on time. This is already hurting your stomach. Drinking black coffee every day will easily hurt your stomach.”

Gabriel’s deep eyes had a strange fluctuation. He looked up from the computer and their eyes met. Her clear and watery eyes were calm and sincere. “Get out.”

Serenity carried the documents out of the office and returned to her seat to continue working. She did not take the small incident earlier to heart.

The man in the office looked at the closed door, and his warm face gradually became silent.

He glanced at the coffee beside him and took a sip. Although it was already cold and no longer had the fragrance of hot coffee, he actually drank the entire cup.

At ten o’clock in the evening, Selena coaxed Eva to sleep and went to the study room. John was busy sitting in front of his desk. He had already taken a shower after he came back from work. At this moment, he was wearing home clothes and looked handsome and refined.

Selena knocked on the half-closed door. John looked up at the door and said calmly, “You haven’t slept yet?”

Selena entered the study. “Serene and Calvin Gilbert’s engagement is temporarily canceled. Rivers Group can’t hold on for much longer. What are you planning to do?”

While bathing Eva, Serena’s clothes got wet as well, so she took a shower as well. At this moment, she was wearing a wide-shouldered nightgown, but it was not revealing. Even without makeup, her face was still beautiful.

John said expressionlessly, “Isn’t that a good thing?”

Selena felt a chili in her heart, and her gentle eyes became a little scattered in an instant. “Don’t forget that Serene’s surname is also Rivers.”

The light in the study was very gentle, shining on his handsome face. His dark eyes narrowed slightly, and his right thumb rubbed the thumb of his left hand.

The two of them had lived under the same roof for three years. Selena understood this habit of his. It was a sign of his displeasure.

For the sake of the Rivers family, she knew that Serenity was his soft spot and had no choice but to continue using her.. “If Serene knew that you could help the Rivers family but did nothing, do you think she would hate you even

more?”
